I am surprised that this hotel has not rated higher on Tripadvisor! We thoroughly enjoyed it. Our rooms were lovely, and the food was very good. Our tour group was originally supposed to be at a Dedeman Hotel in Nevsehir, and were suddenly changed to the Tourist Hotel. Rather than being upset at the change, all 41 passengers felt very fortunate to be in a smaller boutique hotel amongst the history and amazing land formations of Goreme, Cappadocia!! We booked ourselves for a full turkish bath and massage package at the Candles Spa which set the tone for our amazing experience in this region. Next morning we went hot air ballooning. If you have an opportunity to do this - DO IT! (we went with Goreme Balloons).

I was here on a group tour stay for 2 nights. The hotel's location itself is excellent - sightseeing places like the rock formations, and goreme open air museum were just next door. Plus the hotel was surrounded by these rock formation which made it an ideal spot to capture a picture of the breathtaking scenery.

Although the hotel is kind of small, they bother to make it cozy. There were souvenir shops out in the lobby but they weren't open for business. The hotel had free internet so going on their computers was a popular thing to do.

The room is pretty and cozy, though slightly small. I was very satisfied with the fact that there was a boiler, so that I could make tea, or eat cup noodles. Sleep quality was good, because their beds were comfy and soft.

Food at buffet was horrible. There is little variety, which is not expected of a 4 star hotel. Their potatoes were hard and cold, the beef was good but it ran out before I could take more. Breakfast was interesting, because there was an egg and pancake station there. Sad news is, there was only one chef there, so the queue took FOREVER to clear.

The hotel was too good to believe. We had Room 3001 , 3002 and 3003. They were all interconnected to a huge party room with a dining area and a fireplace sitout .The French windows opened to our private garden with weeping willows and fir trees.
We were in room 3001 which was the largest with a huge bathroom with a huge modern Jacuzzi and an ancient hammam. Our room also had a cosy love seat to cuddle into.
The Goreme church is a short uphill walk and the Goreme market is closeby… it looks like a scene from a western classic movie.
I bought a Sumack carpet from Galerie Ikman, owner was very friendly and hospitable, he explained all the motifs on the carpet in detail. The market also has quad bikes on rent, wher the kids had a blast on the special quad tracks.
The most fascinating was the Underground City. They have dug tunnels and stayed for months more than 5 floors below , it has stables, wine troughs, narrow exits where shafts of line filter in and bedrooms , altars and kitchens.
We also did the thrill of the Volacnic snow Mt Erciyes straight from the airport before arriving to the hotel. The two level ski lift takes you on top of the world.
Fist time visitorslike us often come with preconceived notions, but this place is unspoilt, unique and innocent. A journey back in time with jaw dropping scenery of conical chimneys and honey combed churches just outside our hotel. The hotel has a magnificient backdrop of the stunning chimney valleys all around us and we were mesmerized when we saw the hot air balloons take off just outside our hotel
The breakfast and dinner were good, lots of desserts, but make sure you are on time or they are very strict about timing,
There was a pool but it was empty, I think in a place so cold you need an indoor pool

My friends and I travelled with a group tour and had enjoyed the stay in this hotel very much...rooms are clean and the air is simply very fresh....most of all...the hotel is located in between the rocks formation of this beautiful region...which makes its a plus point...dinner was good...Cappadocia is beautiful,.....especially the view form the hotair balloon...wonderful!
